How joining works, step by stepOur mission
Through alpine ski racing, we develop and inspire a community of young athletes who
Strive for excellence.Compete with integrity.Pursue a lifelong love of skiing.
On snow and off it
What we ask of every racer.
Our mission asks two things of every Team Gilboa athlete, from a six-year-old's first course to the start of a FIS race.
01Strive for excellence.Constant improvement is a core value here: the drive to get better and compete harder, year after year. It made Team Gilboa a U.S. Ski and Snowboard Gold club and, in 2020, a High Performance Center.
02Compete with integrity.For more than 40 years the club has raised racers in an environment that values high character, hard work, accountability, perseverance and leadership. Great skiers, and great people.
Core values
Three things our program is built on.
Our vision is excellence and innovation in youth development. These values are how we get there, on snow and off it.
Passion for skiing
The love of the sport encourages our athletes to show their best qualities: determination, perseverance, and courage.
Constant improvement
The drive to get better and compete harder keeps our athletes motivated, year after year.
Strong community
We aren't just teammates. By sharing our time, effort, experiences, and joy, we become lifelong friends.
